About Platelet Rich Plasma Injection

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive regenerative therapy offered by pediatric orthopedics to harness the body's natural healing abilities. In this procedure, a small sample of the child's blood is drawn, processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets and growth factors, and then precisely injected into the injured or damaged musculoskeletal tissue, such as tendons, ligaments, or joints. This concentrated plasma stimulates and accelerates the repair of soft tissues and cartilage, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pain. It is a promising alternative for young patients with sports injuries, growth plate issues, or chronic conditions where traditional treatments have been insufficient, promoting healing with minimal downtime and using the patient's own biological material to avoid rejection risks.

Key Highlights

Utilizes the patient's own blood, minimizing risk of allergic reactions or rejection.Minimally invasive procedure with no major incisions or general anesthesia typically required.Stimulates the body's natural healing and tissue regeneration processes.Can reduce pain and inflammation, potentially delaying or avoiding the need for surgery.Short procedure time, often performed in an outpatient clinic setting.Promotes healing of tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints with growth factors./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Chronic tendon injuries (tendinopathies) such as jumper's knee (patellar tendinitis) or Achilles tendinitis.
Ligament sprains and tears, including in the knee (e.g., MCL, LCL) or ankle.
Mild to moderate osteoarthritis in adolescent joints.
Muscle strains or tears that are slow to heal.
Certain growth plate injuries (osteochondritis dissecans).
Non-healing fractures or to support bone graft procedures.

How to prepare

Consultation with a pediatric orthopedic specialist to confirm candidacy for PRP.
Disclosure of all medications, especially blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen), which may need to be paused.
Maintaining good hydration in the days leading up to the procedure.
Fasting is usually not required as it is a minor procedure, but follow specific doctor's instructions.
Arranging for transportation home after the injection, as the affected area may be sore.
Wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the injection site.

Risks & possible complications

Pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which is usually temporary.
Risk of infection at the blood draw or injection site (very low).
Minor nerve irritation or injury from the needle.
No improvement in symptoms or failure of the treatment.
Very rare risk of tissue damage if not performed correctly.
Potential for increased pain for a few days post-injection as part of the inflammatory healing response.

Recovery & hospital stay

Rest the injected area for 24-48 hours; avoid strenuous activity or heavy lifting.
Ice packs can be applied to manage initial soreness and swelling.
Over-the-counter pain relievers (like acetaminophen) may be recommended; avoid NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen) initially as they may interfere with the healing process.
A structured physical therapy program is often prescribed after a brief rest period to restore strength and mobility.
Gradual return to sports or activities as guided by the orthopedic specialist, typically over several weeks.
Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress, as the full benefits may develop over 4-6 weeks.

Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient procedure)
Expected recovery time: Initial soreness: 3-7 days; Full therapeutic effect: 4-6 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

Ayaan Nair is a 14-year-old competitive...

Ayaan Nair is a 14-year-old competitive tennis player who dreams of playing at the collegiate level. For the past 10 months, he has been struggling with persistent pain and swelling in his right elbow, diagnosed as a chronic, partial ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tear, often called "Little League elbow." Despite months of strict rest, physical therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications, the pain returned every time he resumed serving practice, shattering his confidence and causing him to miss crucial tournament seasons. His pediatric orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chen, recommended a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injection as a next-step, regenerative option to try to heal the damaged ligament and avoid more invasive surgery. The procedure itself was quick; Ayaan was mildly sedated, and the injection into his elbow caused a brief, deep ache. The emotional journey was intense; before the procedure, Ayaan felt frustrated and fearful that his athletic dreams were over. The weeks of mandatory rest post-injection were agonizing. However, after 3 months of a gradual, guided return-to-play program, Ayaan's pain was significantly reduced. By 6 months, he was serving at full strength without pain for the first time in over a year. The outcome was a renewed sense of hope and excitement; he felt he had been given a second chance to pursue his passion, transforming his anxiety into determined gratitude.
